HTC Billiards Club Announces
Weekly 8-Ball Billiards League and Weekly Straight Pool Billiards League
 
The HTC Billiards Club is pleased to announce, we are starting a new session for the Winter of the following:
 
When: The leagues will play every week scheduled by the players. Starting the week of January 26th.
 
What:  8-Ball using HTC 8-Ball rules and Straight Pool using HTC Straight Pool rules
Format: Basics, a schedule will show who your opponent is for that week. You contact that person and schedule your match. If you cannot play that particular week, call your opponent and reschedule. You can play your matches earlier or later than the published schedule. The only rule is to have all your matches completed and in by the end of the season. As always, it is important to be responsive and responsible for arranging your matches.
 
Cost: $5 per player, per league. All monies collected will be paid out at season end 
(minus expenses). There is a lock box and envelopes in the Billiards Room to deposit your envelope with the $5. Be sure and put your name and “Straight Pool“ or “Weekly 8-Ball” on the envelope.
 
Weeks: Dependent on the number of divisions established. 9 or 10 people in a division will play 9 weeks. 11 or 12 people in a division will play 11 weeks. Which means you will play each person in your division once. 
Division schedules will be sent out prior to January 24th (check your email) and will also be posted in the Billiards Room.
 
How to Sign Up
 
1. Signups are due by January 22nd. To sign up, you must do 2 things. 
     a. First, respond to this email (DO NOT USE RESPOND ALL) or send an email to htcbilliardsclub@gmail.com. 
     b. Second, put your money in the lock box, see above under “Cost”.
If responding in a separate email, you must put “HTC Straight Pool League Signup” or “HTC Weekly 8-Ball Signup” in the subject line or you will not guarantee that you are signed up.
 
2.      If you are a new player, be sure and include your email address, phone number and estimated skill level. (1-5 where 5 being a highly skilled player). You will be placed in a division with others of similar skill levels. Handicaps will be automatically calculated by league standings (win/loss for 8-ball, total score for straight pool) for consecutive seasons.
 
Matches
Straight Pool
1.  Each Match consist of a single game to 40 points.
2.  The winner is responsible for posting the score; division sheets on the bulletin board. You                   will post 40 for the winner and the ball count of the loser, for example, 40 – 32. Each                         person that gets a 40 will get 1 point. However, total ball counts and differential will be                     used as a tiebreaker.
3.  Lag for break or flip a coin to start, winner has a choice.
 
8-Ball
1.  Each Match consists of three games; each win is worth one point
2.  The winner is responsible for posting the score; division sheets on the bulletin board.

Hiking Club

To facilitate communication we have a Facebook Group Page if you are interested.  
View the full 2024 Hike Schedule HERE
 
 
The hiking club schedules hikes between from mid-April to mid-October. We meet in the clubhouse parking lot to carpool to the trailhead. Most of the scheduled hikes are rated as moderate with a shorter option available for many of the hikes. It is the responsibility of each hiker to know their own limits and come prepared. An email will be sent to each member the week before the hike with meeting time, hike details, and directions. This information will also be published in the Tuesday E-Blast. To be added to our mailing list or for questions please contact Amy Downey at amyjdowney53@gmail.com.
 
We have created a list of club guidelines which we hope will be helpful!
 
  • No club meetings, no dues
  • Hike schedule runs between mid-April and late October.  Schedules may be adjusted due to weather, trail conditions, road conditions, and hike leader availability.
  • You are responsible for determining your readiness for the harder hikes.  You should be at least moderately fit.  Some hikes will be at high elevations with elevation gain and rocky conditions. Know your limitations and put safety first!
  • Hike descriptions will be emailed to club members by the hike leader and will also be posted in the weekly club news e-blast.  When possible there will be an easier alternative to the harder hikes.  This information will also be included in emails and the club e-blast.
  • Carpooling is encouraged.  We meet at the clubhouse parking lot for each hike.  Please arrive 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time for organizing carpooling.  It is recommended you offer your driver at least $5 to help cover gas, entry fees, and road tolls.  If an alternative hike is offered try to carpool with a driver doing the same hike as you.
  • Each hike will have a hike leader who will determine departure time, send out the information email, and ensure all hikers are accounted for.  If you determine you cannot finish a hike you MUST advise the hike leader or sweep and have someone accompany you back to the trailhead/ parking area.
  • Expect some early departure times due to heat, crowded trail conditions, parking availability and the threat of afternoon thunderstorms.
  • Be prepared! Bring plenty of water, snacks, rain gear, sunscreen, etc.  Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear.  Many of us also find hiking poles helpful. Download or bring trail maps as some trails are marked more clearly than others.  Helpful apps for trail information include All Trails and COTREX.
  • Be respectful!  Carry all trash out with you and stay on established trails to avoid erosion. Be respectful of wildlife and follow good trail etiquette.
  • Have fun!!  Hiking isn’t always easy but it IS always worth it.

Just Say Their Name

 
So long as they speak your name, you shall never die”
-Dan Brown, Inferno​

​Our group, formerly known as HTC Bereaved Parents & Grandparents has changed its name to: JUST SAY THEIR NAME.

We are the parents/grandparents of children who have left this world in an unnatural order – before us. We meet monthly to share our stories, our memories, and to say our beloveds’ names without hesitation.
​Too often we hear that others are reluctant to speak of our children, fearing we will be reminded of the sadness. Nothing could be further from the truth. We will speak their names for as long as we live and know that they are never forgotten.

​If these words resonate with you, please join us and share the journey nobody should be on.

Contact: Margie Tucker, 856-979-4525, Tucker642@comcast.net

Karaoke Singers (and Potential Singers) Club

This club meets every first Tuesday, at no charge, at my house from 6-9 pm. The goal is to promote and enhance singing and performance skills and self-confidence in a supportive group setting. Each member, one by one, selects a song to sing which has been practiced before the club meeting date. Each member sings using our quality microphones and sound system combined with our Karafun computer program subscription, After the song is performed, group members discuss the positive aspects of the singer’s rendition and share vocal and performance tips, relevant singing experiences, and positive, constructive feedback. Negative feedback is not allowed. Afterwards, the singer may choose to repeat the song or move on to the next singer.

There is no waiting list. Feel free to bring snacks and your choice of beverage, but no appetizers, please. If possible, practice a song you like and want to sing alone or with someone before each meeting.

Meeting times:
  • Every Friday from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm in the Blue Sage Room
Thank you Heritage Todd Creek residents, friends and anyone who came to the Swedish Weaving's pre-sale and Craft Fair table. We collected $2,335 to donate to K.I.N.D. (Kids In Need of Dentistry). Cathy Gleason and I (Karen Foster) took the donation to their facility today (10-22-24) to present the checks to the Dentist and office workers. We were given a tour of the bright, cheerful, and comfortable rooms where the kids 5-18 have teeth cleanings, x-rays, other procedures, and instructions done in a non-threatening environment.
 
We are now in the process of discussing next year's weaving and charity. Stay tuned for new weaving options we will offer for sale next fall. Blankets and runners are on display in the craft room display case for you to see our work and if you wish to purchase an item, contact Karen Foster

CASUAL MONTHLY GET-TOGETHER
 
The Wine and Dine Group meets the 2nd Saturday of every month. This is a casual get-together with 10-12 people at residents' homes. Everyone brings a HEARTY appetizer and a bottle of wine to share. If you are not a wine drinker, no problem, just bring your beverage of choice. This is not meant to be a wine group - the emphasis is on getting to meet "new" people, not on the wine. Members of this group need to host a minimum of 2 times a year.

Women's Bible Study

 
FALL 2025 WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
 
All women in HTC are invited to join the Fall 2025 Bible study: “WHEN YOU PRAY: A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible”
by Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards, and Kristi McLelland
 
Prayer is a gift—an invitation to talk with God. But prayer can also be a challenge. Do you have trouble thinking of words to say, fear some emotions are too intense to express to God, or reach the end of the day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all. You’re not alone. Thankfully, in God’s word we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. In this study, six beloved Bible teachers will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll find that when you pray, your faith is strengthened, and your heart is united to Jesus.
 
  • The study is 7 weeks long, encompassing weekly class sessions using a study book with daily lessons and a weekly video teaching that will be viewed in class.
  • Thursdays, September 11 - October 23 OR Fridays, September 12 - October 24
  • HTC Clubhouse
Here is the Amazon link to the study book which also includes personal video access. You are highly encouraged to order the book before the last minute as Amazon has been known to run out.
 
If you would like to attend, contact Deb Erickson to register or if you have questions. PLEASE SPECIFY THE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY CLASS.
 
 
 
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY—WINTER 2025
 
All women in HTC are invited to join the Winter 2025 Bible study:
“JAMES: Discovering God’s Delight in a Lived-Out Faith” 
by Sue Edwards
 
The first-century letter of James is a powerful call to action for every Christian.  James demands that we allow our faith to impact every area of our lives and encourages us to overcome the bad habits and sinful patterns that drag us down.  The good news is that when you walk with God and truly live out your faith, you find real joy—both for the Lord and for yourself.
 
o   The study is 8 weeks long encompassing weekly class sessions using a study book with daily lessons.
o   Thursdays, February 6—March 27, 2025
o   OR Fridays, February 7—March 28, 2025
o   9:30 AM until 11:30 AM
o   HTC Clubhouse
Here is the Amazon link for the study book. 
 
If you would like to attend, contact Deb Erickson to register or if you have questions.  Please specify either the Thursday OR Friday morning class.
